You've got Hillary Clinton all wrong. This lifelong Methodist and committed supporter of Palestinian statehood has discovered she really is someone else. Of course, as a potential candidate for a New York senate seat, with a large Jewish vote, you might expect her to moderate her views. But it's not her take on the Middle East question that she feels a need to alter; it's who she is. Clinton has discovered new roots through her maternal grandmother's second husband, Max Rosenberg. The First Shiksa is belatedly claiming her Jewish heritage.
